It’s a really beautiful place with some lovely restaurants, bars & some cute additions like the gelateria & the little on-site kafenio. The staff are brilliant with kids and they’ve thought of everything you need. Malia isn’t the prettiest area, but parts of the Old Town are charming with some lovely, great value restaurants. My only criticism of this hotel how expensive the restaurant are. We chose not to go half board or all-included but I wish we had – I think it would’ve been much better value overall! ##### Gemma Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick 29 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was exceptional – the room, food, service, staff, facilities, and location. We would definitely recommend the hotel and would stay there again without hesitation. ##### Nick Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ATHANASIA 21 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property and lovely staff throughout.

Amazing breakfast. Very good food overall in all restaurants. Own tennis court,we played every morning. ##### Pekka Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Britt Lise 26 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me and my boyfriend loved this hotel. We got a really lovely welcome with a refreshing drink by really helpful staff. The hotel has everything you need and the restaurants are all wonderful. There are enough sunbeds at the beach and the hotel is really serene. ##### Britt Lise Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Well kept and lovely decor. Nice beach setup. Very big and more suited to families. Don’t think we have ever seen more babies, didn’t bother us but be prepared for a lot of baby strollers. Only disappointment was food. Breakfast buffet is excellent but dinner is at best mediocre. Problem is the restaurants cater to all inclusive guests and a la carte, which in this case meant ok service and disappointing food. Also Malia, the nearby town, is strictly bars and nightclubs, zero charm. Agios Nikalos 30 minutes away much nicer. ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very family friendly, comfortable hotel Lovely resort, incredibly family friendly. Kids club is great if child is over 3 years old. Very relaxing stay, only downside is beach is quite rocky compared to others visited in Crete, but you can always use the pool. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 14 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay with our 2 year old. The property is well kept and staff is excellent. Enough dinner options (included in halfboard is the buffet or a discount in the other restaurants). Pool was great and it felt like a small village. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. The resort is a little outside of the village and we rented a car for a few days to explore part of the island. ##### Amy Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our stay here! The facility is beautiful and offers many things to do. We didn't need to leave the resort at any time to do something else. Staff was mostly very sweet and friendly. Defenitely recommend or will come back someday :) ##### Claudia Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place. Lots of kids. Great location, Amazing building, food and service. Maybe toooo child friendly for such an amazing place. Most areas are littered with Toddlers running around or making noise. ##### Kevin Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erik 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing and comfortable family holiday. Very comfortable stay, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pools. Good place to stay for a relaxing family holiday. One minor downside is the beach, which is not the best around for accessibility to the water for kids. But largely made up for by the rest of the experience. Would recommend. ##### Erik Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sebastian 28 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We’ll come again! We had an absolutely great time at the hotel, the staff was very welcoming and the hotel facilities perfect, offering everyone the right alternative: with kids at the pool, quiet at the river pool or with some good chill out music by the beach - we’ll come again! ##### Sebastian Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pernille Eiberg 18 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderfull. Very beautiful resort. Nice restaurants with decent prises. One widget though: They could improve the teenage program and the gym could be bigger. All in all a really great hotel. We will definitely return. ##### Pernille Eiberg Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel.

We avoided the buffet and had incredible food at both the Cretan restaurant for breakfast and dinner and the Italian for dinner. Charming staff, just needs a minor rethink in bathroom as shower was narrow due to placement of soap holder. Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend and return ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E37469D0CC774CB3DB04063618185778562DF01B1729082810887.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/60B0450F83A7CD497C926546523C4FCB3A6926201729082821356.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/034BC59B0C4EC6B3ED59765F122857081A90A7491729082811928.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C11203D0F1E61C91926BDAFD74F91BECCF95E9371729082812427.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stephen Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PHUONG 21 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were stunned at how beautiful the property was. It had many restaurants to choose from, some of the best resort/hotel food we've had. Even an ice cream/crepe bar! Staff was welcoming, warm and friendly. The spa was great. I didn't want to leave b/c they had everything there on the property. Would def come back again and recommend to friends. ##### PHUONG Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bryony Claire 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Pros Rooms very nice with everything you need Huge beds Staff very friendly Food and setting at the restaurants lovely (especially Cretan and Italian) Kids play area was nice to have especially on a rainy day Design of property is stunning Cat cafe and organic garden were nice places to potter around Cons/areas for improvement Relatively small for a resort and not much to do around the resort. Bungalow rooms are not actually bungalows - our room was on the first floor Balconies small Pools not heated enough to be a pleasant experience in October (24 degrees outside). Daughter was turning blue! There’s a nice splash pool for toddlers but it’s under trees so coated in tree debris all the time - feels like it should’ve been cleaned out more regularly Menus were all on qr codes in the app but you couldn’t order through the app There was a yoga pavilion so I expected to be able to pop along to yoga classes but they only had private yoga classes on offer. Every other resort I’ve stayed in does free sessions once or twice a day Massage was lovely but availability was very limited so recommend booking in advance. Offers were advertised but not honoured. Seemed to be one “experience” available most days but they were pricey. For example Brad making we’d have paid €200 for two suits and a one year old Similarly we paid €23 for our daughter at the buffet (but she was free the second time) Difficult to get restaurant reservations within a day or two Beach not the nicest ##### Bryony Claire Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Valeria 2 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rocky Beach with broken umbrellas and dirty loungers, tiny gym with broken equipment (you have to book timeslots to secure a space) only limited timeslots available for restaurant reservation. Claustrophobic layout (with beautiful design elements. Food was good and staff friendly but we had to leave early because we found it impossible to relax and the place to crowded. Not your typical design hotel. ##### Valeria Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Henrik 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing hotel but they need a sunbed policy.. Amazing stay.. amazing hotel.. amazing beach, bar and restaurants..the only major problem is to find a sunbed at the pool or beach as SO many guests gets up very early in the morning to block sunbeds they might want to use later in the day.. the lack of hotel policy and total lack of actions to prevent this will prevent me from booking this hotel again.. ##### Henrik Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mitsis Selection Rinela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > > [Esperides Resort Crete, The Authentic Experience](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Esperides-Resort-Crete.h2894041.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Royal Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Royal-Mare.h1181666.Hotel-Information) > > [Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Creta-Maris-Resort-All-Inclusive.h541819.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Royal-Imperial-Belvedere-Hotels.h1191451.Hotel-Information) > > [The Island - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-The-Island-Adults-Only.h1789428.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Blue!
